I spent years trying to get into a competitive and prestigious child psych program, but ultimately, decided against it and went with a much less prestigious but much more lifestyle friendly program in the area. Now, I'm really regretting it. My wife is now pregnant, and I've convinced myself that I've screwed myself from lucrative job offers in the area. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, though. The graduates from this program get good job offers, sometimes even better than the more prestigious program, but I just feel that the child psych job market is going to get much more competitive in the future. I'd be happy with a decent job, but now I'm worried about providing for my wife and soon to be newborn child. Am I overreacting here? I guess I'm just seeking some reassurance, honestly.
